Prereqs: -Plenty of patience -A gun with one bullet -Plenty of energy drinks -Clenex -Aspirin -Broken mind What you can expect from the toolset is stress, tears, pain, annoyances, bugs, and several other hidden goodies. Then on top of all that suicidal tendancies when you have put everything you have into making something for people and they come back within minutes asking for more stuff, or what you "should" of done.. and *gasp* There will be some who dont like your stuff at all.. Your creation will be much like your child, you love it, you hate it, and in most cases you want to hide it away in a closet because it may embarass you  Have fun! -Ice |

Always, always work on a module in directory format. I estimate that I have lost maybe 75(?) hours total to crashes either from saving, baking, or terrain work. If you work on it in mod file format know that your playing with a live grenade that will most definitely go off. Other than that practice, practice practice. There are a lot of techniques and trial and error will expose them. One day I hope to have enough time to put them into tutorials. In the mean time though be sure and check this one out. nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Tutorials.Detail&id=82Terrain shading, or the lack of is one of the most lacking pieces of any mod created for NWN2. |
